A role of VLA‐6 laminin receptor in invasion of breast carcinoma

Abstract: The integrin VLA‐6 as a laminin receptor and laminin as a ligand for laminin receptor were detected immunohisto‐chemically in normal, benign tumor and carcinoma tissues of the breast. Epithelial cells of both normal breast and benign tumor were in almost all cases strongly immuno‐reactive for VLA‐6 in the plasma membrane. Carcinoma cells in 34 of 70 cases (49%) with an invasive component were not immunoreactive for VLA‐6, and no carcinoma ceils showed strong positivity. Although carcinoma cells in only four of… Show more

“…Our finding that an anti-VLA-4 mAb inhibited migration of the transfectants on laminin to which VLA-4 is not known to bind was unexpected. Although VLA-4 is recognized to play a major role in the migratory activity of several cells, VLA-6 has been not been linked to cell motility, but rather to the regulation of differentiated events (35,36). However, a recent report that an anti-VLA-6 mAb could partially inhibit pre-B cell transmigration under human bone marrow stroma suggests that VLA-6 may also function in cooperation with other adhesion molecules to modulate motile behavior (37).…”

“…In contrast, decreases in the a2-and a3-or a6-and b4-subunits, or all of them, have been consistently noted in many types of carcinomas. This pattern is exemplified in carcinoma of the breast (15,19,(22)(23)(24), lung (16), colon (14,17,18,25), kidney (20,21), pancreas (26), bladder (27), basal cell carcinoma of the skin (28) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (29). Re-expression of the a2b1 integrin in a poorly differentiated mammary carcinoma resulted in an alteration in phenotype from a fibroblastoid, invasive cell to an epithelioid, less motile and less invasive type of cell (56).…”

“…The aggressiveness of several malignant tumors correlates with alterations in the expression of one or more integrins. In particular, decreases in the a2-and a3-or the a6-and b4-subunits, or in all of them, have been consistently noted in certain kinds of tumors (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29).…”

“…Similarly, ITGA6 was found to be overexpressed in breast cancer and contributes toward the resistance to radiation therapy, partially through the activation of PI3K/Akt or MEK/Erk signaling pathways 56 . This α‐subunit may associate with ITGB1 or ITGB4 forming VLA‐6 (α6β1 or α6β4) and act as a laminin receptor 57,58 . Overexpression of ITGAX was associated with aggressive prostate cancer, but we identified only one report where a moderate expression in invasive breast cancer tissue sample was reported 59,60 .…”
